The Wildcats are riding a two game winning streak while Texas is coming into Manhattan off a 64-59 loss to TCU in Fort Worth. Horns are still looking for their first Big 12 road win while KSU is 2-2 in home Big 12 games.

Haley Texada (# 1, 5-6 Sr. G) adds 8.6 ppg with Kindred Wsesmann (# 24, 5-6 Soph. G) pitching in with 7.3 ppg.

Wesemann’s 76 FG attempts are second on the squad while Woods is second in FGs made with 31. Craig has the best 3pt % at 36.1%. Craig is tied with Wesemann for the most 3s made with 13 apiece. Texada is second in 3pt % at 34.5% (10-29). Wesemann is first in 3pters attempted (48) while Craig is second (36). Woods (24-50; 48.0%) and Lewis (24-42; 57.1%) are KSU’s best at getting to the FT line. Wesemann has the highest FT % (84.6%) among players that have attempted at least 10 FTs. Shaelyn Martin (# 50, 6-0 Fr. G) has connected on 8-10 FTs.
Woods is the top rebounder at 6.9 rpg with Lewis second at 5.8 rpg and Martin at 4.8 rpg. Three players are averaging at least 2 assists per game: Woods (3.0 apg), Wesemann (2.3 apg) and Martin (2.0 apg). Lewis is second in the league with 30 blocks (2.3 bpg). Jessica Sheble (# 0, 6-2 Soph. F) is second with 3 blocks. Four players have reached double figures in steals with Martin’s 22 leading the quartet. Woods has 18, Lewis 13 and Wesemann 10 steals.
KSU has four players averaging over 30 mpg with another just off that. Wesemann (32.9 mpg), Martin (32.2 mpg), Woods (31.6 mpg) and Lewis (31.0 mpg) are all over 30 mpg with Craig at 28.8 mpg. Deborah Meeks (# 3, 5-8 Jr. G; 10.7 mpg), JC transfer from Trinity Valley CC, and Texada (21.1 mpg) are the only other players that average more than 7 mpg. Other than those seven, Sheble averages 6.2 mpg in nine games. Young has played in eight games (7.4 mpg). Ashley Jones (# 21,6-2 Jr. F) and Antoinette Taylor (# 11, 5-6 Jr. G) have seen action in seven games to the tune of 4.7 mpg and 4.0 mpg, respectively.
Horns are led in scoring by Ariel who is averaging 9.2 ppg. Imani is second at 8.4 ppg while Brady (7.9 ppg) and Kelsey (7.7 ppg) are third and fourth. Imani’s 58.0% tops the team with Nekia’s 55.3% second. Brady has the most FG attempts at 79 with Kelsey close behind at 71. Kelsey has made the most FGs with 32 while Imani (29) and Brady (26) are second and third in that category. Brady is the leading 3pt shooter for Texas at 25.8%. She has the most 3pters made and attempted (8-31). Brooke is second in all three (7-29; 24.1%). Krystle is the only other Horn to have attempted more than six 3s (4-19; 21.1%). Nekia and Celina are 3-6 each from BTA but have not attempted a trey in at least four games. Ariel has the best FT% on the team at 88.2% while Imani has made and tried the most FTs (18-23; 78.3%). With four others hitting at least 70%, the team’s FT average is now 70.1%.
Kelsey is the leading rebounder at 6.1 rpg with Imani (5.3 rpg) and Empress (4.8 rpg) provide solid support on the boards. Empress (3.0 apg), Brady (2.1 agp), Brooke (2.0 apg) and Celina (1.8 apg) are the top distributors for Texas. Brady continues to be the only Horn in double figure steals with 12. Krystle is second with 9 steals. Kelsey and Imani are tied with 13 blocks. Ariel, Empress and Sara have one block each.
Kelsey is the only player to start all nine Big 12 games. Eight players have at least one start in league play. 13 players have seen action in league play. Six have played in all nine games with two others having played in eight games. Playing in all games they have been available for are Ariel (5) and Brianna (6). Brady is the iron woman of the team, averaging 32.3 mpg with Ariel, Kelsey, Empress and Brooke all at over 20 mpg. Imani, Nekia, Krystle, Brianna and Celina average in the teens.Per the AAS game preview, Empress will miss her second straight game due to a shoulder injury.Projected starters based on the last game:
[pre]
Texas KSU
Imani (6-7 Jr.C) Lewis (6-5 Soph. F)
Kelsey (6-5 Soph. C) Martin (6-0 Fr. G)
Brady (5-11 RS Jr. G) Wesemann (5-6 Soph. G)
Brooke (5-4 Fr. G) Texada (5-6 Sr. G)
Ariel (5-11 Fr. G) Woods (5-10 Sr. G)
KSU has some height to throw into the breach against Imani and Kelsey, starting with the 6-5 Lewis. None averages more than Jones’ 7.4 mpg and none is taller than 6-2. Texas will carry a significant height advantage into this game with KSU needing Lewis to stay out of foul trouble and on the floor. The Texas guards did a good job of getting the ball inside during the TCU and will need to repeat that performance. KSU had this to say earlier this season: “Our great zone defense is really our identity and what will help us keep games within reach.” Horns will need to attack it by both penetration and passing to get looks for the posts. They will need to make some midrange jumpers as well as get to the FT line.

KSU ranks last in the league in scoring, scoring margin, FG% and FT%. Horns will have a significant advantage on the boards. A strong defensive effort by Texas will put a lot of pressure on KSU to speed their preferred slow down game. A potential problem for Texas is that KSU ranks second only to TCU in steals. TCU forced 25 TOs, including 19 steals. KSU is likely to be salivating at the thought of pressuring Texas and getting easy points. Texas will need to put that game away and focus on taking better care of the ball. KSU will have trouble keeping the Texas posts from scoring. Lewis is more active than TCU’s Bradshaw and might be more likely to end up in foul trouble trying to deal with both Imani and Kelsey. The Horns’ ability to get the FT line will be key for them.
